The core of this film is ecofeminism (the etymology of eco- is oikos: household, dwelling, our environment is our house, our residence/guest room), the mother in the film is also the incarnation of mother earth, connected to the house . The film is about the relationship between people and the earth from the Old Testament to the New Testament (the specific fables and allusions have been discussed a lot, and you can also correspond yourself, such as how the flood in "Noah" was abbreviated as a kitchen water pipe rupture).
But the paradox of the film is to first guide you to think about immigration, think about our own hospitality (or hostipitality as Derrida calls it), and whether we can unconditionally sacrifice ourselves to love others (a major theme of contemporary Western philosophy) ). (At the same time, while secretly echoing bloody films like Funny Games that satirize the middle class's face-consciousness, they lead people to another route). It first makes you think that the house is the United States or other countries, and then a twist reveals ironically that the host you are acting as a group of robber-like guests (this is especially playing with the psychology of the American audience, from the psychological From self-defense to self-questioning, the stamina does not start until after watching the film, and it will definitely deepen with the discussion afterwards. Darren’s protagonist’s race selection, the Native Americans appearing in the middle section, are very interesting to analyze in detail). How do you use this house, who is accepting you at the expense of unconditionally? They all overthrow everyone in the end in a way of figuring out the image of a female in the family.
The man-made houses do not show you the obvious green nature (they are isolated from the human house and the lawn), but the house is getting hot, leaking, the wound is melting, the leaks are covered on the surface, and the soil turns yellow. It’s muddy, the reserved land is occupied little by little, and the resources little by little looted. If you don’t see these metaphors, then you are just like the invaders portrayed in the movie, taking everything in the house for granted, and your eyes are limited. Compete with other people's you and me, and get involved in a series of destruction and destruction wars initiated by robbers and guests. (Any interpretation that focuses on immigration can only be limited to this level; any interpretation from a rightist standpoint is even more ironic; those who are so excited-how could Darren just come to tell you such a low-level story ——It can only reflect their own heart) So many people can't even see the obvious fable of the film, which just illustrates the reality that the film wants to reveal.
The film (the original title is "The Sixth Day", which is the day when people come to the world) rewrites Christianity with Christian stories, placing the human center in the doctrine in a big frame (house, environment, mother), Was picking up to the full. Give God a wife and pick him (Him) vividly. On the positive side, the film complements the neglect of the relationship between man and nature in Christianity, and tells the story of this man from another perspective.
This is how Darren dumbfounded everyone in, using the popular house horror to introduce people into the urn, which actually subverted the movie genre and subverted the human subject matter that people read. He has long expected a good response from the audience. Reverse, throw environmental protection themes and ecological theories to everyone in a black and intuitive form (yes, Darren himself is an active environmentalist). As an environmentally friendly film, it does not have a single word, it is as romantic as it can be. As a horror movie, it shows that the real horror is happening around, and the story of Sodom and the Flood is becoming daily. It has also become a demon mirror by the way, an intelligence test, but the ultimate goal is not to really sling everyone, but to awaken the world, in the way allowed by the film type. Because it is so difficult for people to jump out of the human center (people's reaction to this film also illustrates this), but we must retell human stories with better fables and better narratives, and a story archetype The reinvention of can continue to affect people’s thinking patterns. With so many close-ups and so many subjective perspectives for the mother in the film (Scoses praises these lens language), can you try to bring her perspective to gaze at humans, gaze at yourself?
Finally, don't forget that Mother Earth does not necessarily need this created god poet, nor does it necessarily (make people) resurrect every time.
